I spend almost all of my work and personal time listening to Jazz music!

I'm a Texian living on the New Jersey Shore. The folks I've met from central and southern New Jersey are very nice people and not at all like the stereotypical "benny..." that pollutes our shoreline.

I have no "art" sense or real artistic skills! My belief is that if you take dozens of pictures of a single subject, at least one of them might turn out pretty good. That's why I have so many damn photos on my page. I don't take myself seriously as a photographer. I just like to take pictures.

I'm not an "artistic" type of person. I'm an engineer. I like pictures of mechanical items or buildings... especially old things that fall into this group.

I support whaling, especially of the indigenous peoples like the Alaskan Inupiat. Whale meat is delicious! It's a "green" meat and naturally sustainable. I also think everyone should wear fur. It too, is a green product and naturally sustainable!

I don't buy organic!!! It doesn't taste as good as commercially raised product and isn't any better for you!!!
